Volume 4 The Envoy Chapter 19 Each has his own thoughts
Zhu Yijun suppressed the excited thoughts in his heart, and asked the question in his heart and the two queen mothers in the simplest way: "Xiaobei, no, Prince Nanzhao, can you tell me what happened after you left the palace?" ”
Bei Juese smiled politely at him without any emotion, and calmly told him what had happened in the past few months.
The person who was thinking about it and worried about it was close at the moment, and the strong feelings suppressed in his heart tortured Zhu Yijun to fidget. He wanted to rush forward desperately and hug the person in front of him tightly, and he wanted to caress that familiar face and confide in him his thoughts and regrets after separation...... However, the two queen mothers sat beside him, and he couldn't mess around; Also, his current identity is the Ming Emperor who received the envoy from Nanmian, and he is the prince of Nanmian who represents the envoy of Nanmian; He is no longer the little eunuch with a low status, he is no longer his Xiaobei!
The distraught Zhu Yijun looked at Bei Juese stupidly, he didn't hear what Bei Juese was saying at all, he only felt that at this moment, the world seemed to be nothing, only he and the two of them were left, all he saw in his eyes was his smile, every move, and what he heard in his ears was only his familiar voice that seemed to be a world away.
I sat down in front of the one I love the most, but I can't show the slightest gesture of loving you, I can't say half a word of love for you, it's a pain, it's a kind of torment. Zhu Yijun was tormented by this pain and suffering, although it was painful, he also felt happy.
Bei Juese slowly recounted the events of the past few months to the two queen mothers, but he did not mention a word about the poisoning.
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Rensheng had a surprised expression on her face and said, "I didn't expect such a twist and turn in the world to happen. But it's really big in the world, and there are no surprises, Your Majesty, don't you say? ”
Zhu Yijun didn't hear her words, and was still looking at Bei Jue in a daze. It wasn't until the Empress Dowager Rensheng called a few times "Emperor" that he looked at her with blank eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Seeing Zhu Yijun's expression, the Empress Dowager Rensheng didn't say anything to him again, but turned to look at the north and chuckled and said, "Prince Nanzhao can go back to Nanmian to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and the spirit of the Yuehua County Lord and the King of Heping County in the sky will definitely feel very comforted." ”
As she spoke, the Empress Dowager Rensheng seemed to have thought of something, and her voice involuntarily lowered a few points: "Prince, you used to hold a position in the palace before, it seems that you were the emperor's side, the eunuch next to you, right?" In the end, she hesitated for a moment before carefully spitting out the words "close eunuch".
As soon as the Empress Dowager Rensheng asked this, everyone present invariably looked straight towards Bei Juese, and different expressions appeared on everyone's faces, all looking forward to Bei Juese's answer.
Ruan Jinglun should be the one who wants to know the clear answer the most. Ever since he knew that the crown prince who had returned from Daming had been on an errand in Daming's palace, he had been worried about a problem, that is, the future crown prince. The palace of the Ming Dynasty is not like the palace of Nanmian, and the men who work in the palace of Nanmian only ask for innocence, not for purification. And Daming is completely different, those who can be on an errand in the Daming Palace, especially in the harem, are basically the eunuchs who enter the palace after purifying. If this crown prince used to be a eunuch in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, then the throne passed to him, and he could not bring any descendants to the country, he would definitely be able to cause a battle for the prince in Nanmian Kingdom in the future. For the sake of the future stability and prosperity of the Nanmian Kingdom, he Ruan Jinglun resolutely disapproved of letting a eunuch who could not have descendants become the crown prince.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bei Juese could still put on a calm appearance. He thought for a while, and decided to grasp the key point and say it straightforwardly: "At the beginning, the minister was brought directly into the palace by an old eunuch under the condition of nonsense, so the minister was not purified at that time. After entering the palace, the old eunuch who brought the minister into the palace disappeared again, and the minister was regarded as a eunuch by everyone, and was arranged to work in different places. ”
"And this one?" The Empress Dowager Cisheng looked at Bei Jue with incredible eyes. In the heavily guarded harem, there can be a fake eunuch who has no clean body mixed in, and he also became the emperor's close attendant eunuch without being discovered by others?
Empress Dowager Cisheng smiled and asked, "Do you remember which old eunuch brought you into the palace in the first place?" What is your name? "A person who is so sloppy must not be allowed to stay in the palace again!
Bei Juese shook his head and said, "I don't remember." The minister only saw him when he first entered the palace, and he never met again. Now even the minister has no impression of what the old eunuch looks like. ”
The Empress Dowager Rensheng knew what the Empress Dowager Cisheng wanted to investigate, and she opened her mouth to play a round and said, "Sister, do you think this is the will of heaven? It may be that the lord of Yuehua secretly protected the prince in the spirit of heaven, so that the prince could escape the catastrophe and finally return to Nanmian to become the prince. Speaking of which, we actually have to feel the old eunuch who brought the prince into the palace, because because of him, the son of the lord of Yuehua, can be intact. ”
Zhu Yijun didn't want his mother to continue to entangle on the question of whether Bei Jue Se was really a eunuch, so he hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, it's not early, I see that all the guests are hungry." It's better to set up a banquet to entertain all the envoys first, and then talk about it in detail later. ”
Seeing the two of them say this, the Empress Dowager Cisheng had no choice but to say, "It's okay." ”
Zhu Yijun gave an order, and the palace people quickly set up the banquet.
Luxurious gold plates and silver plates, rich jade bowls and ivory chopsticks, and a variety of delicacies that dazzle you will be dazzled by just looking at them...... This splendid and fragrant palace feast can show even the impeccable royal grandeur of even an inconspicuous detail.
However, although the dishes of this palace feast were very delicious, under all kinds of invisible pressures, everyone representing Nanmian's side could not let go of their mood to eat and drink. Although the two queen mothers repeatedly gave everyone a warm welcome to eat more, everyone just maintained an impeccable demeanor and ate and drank slowly, so that until the banquet was over, most of the food on the table was still left.
After the banquet, after the palace people cleaned up the wolf books on the table, the two queen mothers each took out a brocade box to give to Bei Juese, saying that it was a gift for the first time to meet the prince of Nanmian Kingdom.
Empress Dowager Rensheng smiled and said to Zhu Yijun: "The crown prince of Nanmian has newly ascended to the position of prince, Your Majesty, this year's return gift from our Ming Dynasty to Nanmian can not be sloppy." ”
Empress Dowager Cisheng looked at Bei Jue Se and asked, "What does the prince want?" Tell us straight. ”
